Electric Generator Company Signs Deal to Buy EQT Certified NatGas
Bloom Energy, a provider of fuel cells that convert natural gas (or biogas, or hydrogen) into electricity without combustion, meaning no carbon dioxide emissions, has signed a two-year deal to buy all of its natural gas to power fuel cells at some 700 locations from EQT. But it’s not just any natural gas Bloom is buying–it’s EQT’s certified responsible natural gas. The financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Today is the annual day when environmental wackos demand fealty to Mother Earth. You WILL bow down and worship the creation (instead of the Creator), or risk being excommunicated from polite company. We thumb our noses at Earth Day worshipers and declare our love for the miracle of fossil energy on this Earth Day. We invite you to join us in celebrating the greatest invention of mankind–fossil fuels.

New Jersey Resources’ Adelphia Gateway project converts an old oil pipeline stretching from Northampton County, PA through Bucks, Montgomery, and Chester counties, terminating in Delaware County at Marcus Hook, into a natural gas pipeline. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) issued final approval for the project in December 2019 (see 
KeyState LLC is developing 7,000 acres of natural gas fields and geological storage in West Keating Township, Clinton County in the middle of coal and iron country in central Pennsylvania (see 
Getting hydrogen from point A to point B by mixing it with and flowing it through existing interstate natural gas pipelines sounds easy. Just hook up to a handy source of hydrogen and let the molecules flow and mingle with methane molecules, right? However, adding hydrogen (H2) to existing methane (CH4) pipelines is NOT a simple thing. There are major roadblocks to flowing H2 through CH4 pipes.
When we say “natural gas exports,” what do you think about? Likely big LNG cargo ships and big LNG liquefaction plants that sit along our coastlines, right? Did you know that until roughly 2020, more natural gas was exported from the United States via pipelines than by LNG cargo ships? LNG exports are a relatively new phenomenon for the U.S. Yet in a short span of time LNG exports have eclipsed pipeline exports and will continue to do so, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), for the foreseeable future.
In January 2020, President Trump announced a list of proposed changes to the 50-year-old National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) in an effort to strip away some of the governmental red tape that has built up over the years like plaque in an artery, preventing important infrastructure projects like pipelines, dams, bridges, and roads from getting built (see 
In early March MDN brought you information from the Toronto Financial Post that said the Ukrainian crisis has put East Coast Canada LNG export facilities “back on the map” (see 
It’s not often a new product announcement catches our attention. Enverus, previously known as Drillinginfo, sent MDN a product announcement for the company’s first consumer-facing product. It’s called 
Pipeline giant Williams announced yesterday that it will collaborate with Cheniere Energy, the largest LNG exporter in the U.S., as well as other natural gas midstream companies, methane detection technology providers, and several academic institutions to implement measuring and tracking of so-called greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions at natural gas gathering, processing, transmission, and storage systems. Williams will include the mighty Transco pipeline system in this project, a 10,000-mile pipeline system that flows Marcellus/Utica gas to the Gulf Coast (to Cheniere’s LNG export facilities).
